We ended up building a small monitoring layer that detects when the canonical tag served by the frontend doesn’t match what the sitemap generator knows. So far it’s caught three regressions that all unit tests had missed. We use something similar for our own infrastructure.

It could be a right context to use AI and feed a LLM to improve testing. I like the fact that the approach contains a list of tools to use.
